I cannot believe that you are 4 years old! I have just been really watching you this past month and you are definitely no longer a toddler. You lil miss independent and I think that is great. Daddy and I were just talking the other day about how you are willing to try new things, whether it's foods or gymnastics, you are ready to learn. Your independence and will power to do something is going to make you a strong leader one of these days. Remember to use these attributes for the good, to help people, to make people feel good, and to know that Jesus loves them.
You have accomplished a lot this year. Here are some of my favorite things; You like to dress yourself (even if it is backwards), you are starting to pick out your clothes, you can ride your bike really fast now, you have come to make your dinner prayers more personal (even if you forget to bless the food every time:)), you can write your own name and pick out other peoples name, and have accomplished a flip on the round bars in gymnastics.
You have some pretty amazing friendships. You are really good at mentoring to younger children and teaching them. You have friends that absolutely adore you and I love it. We have just started letting you have play dates with friends from school and you are loving every minute of it. You are really trying to have a sleepover and I am just not ready for you to be that big yet:). Remember to make strong friendships as you grow. These are the ones that you will grow up with and go through things with. Love them to the fullest.
Some of my favorite things about you are that you love Igloo's marshmallow drink and ask for it just about everyday, I do too:), your problem solving skills, you love to play family games and you are pretty good at them too, you give people funny nicknames like Balloona, you love to help prepare food and help in the kitchen, you make funny jokes and get our jokes, you love to pray and believe that God will make everything better, you love to take balloons and cards to people on their birthday. Your imagination is amazing! You have really been into the movie Frozen and to watch you play this is funny. It makes me giggle to see your version of it.
The night before your birthday you asked if when you grew up if you would be as tall as me and I answered with of course. Apparently you thought that would mean that when you woke up and were four that you would be as tall as me:).
As we come upon this new year of fours I pray that God will be with you. I pray that God will walk with you and create in you true character. Character that will make you more like him with a servants
heart. Last week you told me that God is taking a long time to answer your prayer. But always keep by Him and he will take care of you. Remember to always pray to God and turn to him for everything. Something that we have been teaching you this year is that God will answer our prayers in His time and that we just have to stay faithful to him and he will give us the desires of our hearts when He is ready. You are learning what that is at such a young age.
Happy birthday to one beautiful, loving, funny, spunky, little girl. You are amazing...be you today!
